A MAN has revealed how he won the lottery THREE times in just one day – and the results may surprise you.
In 2018, Mark Maltz scooped the jackpot winning prize of more than $325,000 after purchasing several tickets from a local gas station.
The Tow Company worker first indulged on a scratchcard punt while filling up his truck in Oakland County, Michigan.
And after winning $10 he decided it was worth a punt again, this time winning a $15 on a separate Fast Cash ticket.
However, after purchasing a third and fourth ticket with his previous winnings, the man was stunned by what happened next.
"I started freaking out," the trucker told Michigan Lotto at the time.
Buoyed by his first two wins, Mark revealed he had bought a further $5 Fast Cash Black Jack ticket and a $10 Jackpot Slots Fast Cash ticket.
Unknowingly, one of them contained the state lottery’s jackpot prize worth $325,184.
“The rest of history,” he later quipped to lottery officials.
He added: “I’m going to sit on this for a little while and decide how to best invest it and make it last me a long time.”
While Mark’s story is particularly odds-defying, another lucky gambler previously revealed how he won the won the lottery for the fourth time in his lifetime.
In January, Mike "Lucky" Luciano’s revealed his latest big money haul - bringing his whopping total of winnings to $4.6million.
Amazingly the latest win, worth more than $1 million, was the third time major cash prize he had claimed in the past six years.
However, he struggled to put his finger on how he’d managed it.
"I don't know why I've been so blessed, winning big three times in my lifetime," Luciano told the Altoona Mirror in 2021.
"Most people are just looking for one win—and I know this is incredible."
"But, I'm convinced no one wins this many times without playing more than they should," Luciano added. "I'm addicted to it."
Elsewhere, a woman previously explained how her unique tactic that helped her claim for more than £150,000 in winnings.
In 2019, Deborah Brown from Richmond, Virginia, claimed she won a £3,800 jackpot on 30 separate lottery tickets by using the same numbers.
She bear odds of 1 in 10,000 on every single one – a result that “nearly gave her a heart attack” at the time, she said.
